Students, Institutions

The “Bienvenue en France” certification, managed by Campus France, sets a standard for how well French higher education institutions welcome and support international students. It serves as a guide for students, highlighting the quality of their experience and promoting the efforts made by institutions to improve student reception.

A total of 157 institutions have now earned the “Bienvenue en France” certification, showcasing their dedication to welcoming international students. Following the 17th Certification Commission meeting on 3 July 2024, involving major academic bodies and assessment agencies, several institutions renewed their certification, while others received it for the first time.

Six institutions renewed their "Bienvenue en France" certification:

Finally, Montpellier Business School received the certification for the first time!

The Bienvenue en France family keeps growing, and this initiative remains key to enhancing the global appeal and internationalisation of French higher education.
